Details

A comedy in five acts by Thomas Holcroft first performed at the Theatre Royal Brury Lane January 25, 1798 directed by Abigail Anderson. Harry Monrose is Holcroft's gothic-inspired anti-hero who has travelled the world and seen its corruptions and hypocrisy. 'Such is the world: and shall i, like a driveller, make myself its football? No; it shall be mine!' He resolves to play society at its own game and make his fortune in the process. From the playwright of He's Much to Blame, a darkly glittering, cynical comedy that caused an uproar at its first performance and was immediately censored for being too close to the truth. A Script in Hand reading.
